It’s interesting how this newfound patriotism, that drives them to protect this country from Trudeau, doesn’t extend to being deeply critical of Trump’s term, considering how much he fucked us at every turn.

This is the part that I always find mind boggling. Yeah, parents who don’t parent exist, but the vast majority want the screaming to stop just as much as anybody else, if not more…

Most of the time Bluetooth and Wifi are provided by the same chip. Bluetooth runs on 2.4GHz, like WiFi up to N-band.

Edit: I’m too slow, looks like!

I honestly just use it for my resume with a template I found, so my knowledge is extremely basic, but I really do love the concept that I can “compile” and actually see the source of my document’s formatting.

I can’t find this specific sentence in my inbox. So I guess there are some variations. It’s just the same platitudes as people asking “how’s it going” when greeting people. It’s a weird form of politeness I’ll never really understand, but is just there. It’s futile to try and change this, IMHO.

I have really big hands too, and even with those, really big phone sizes are just not practical, IMHO. Unless one has giant NBA player tennis racket sized hands, past 6” to 6.2”, you just can’t comfortably hold your phone and reach every part of the screen without shifting it around all the time.

I fully believe that everything that actually is possible is already being worked on as quickly as possible.

That’s either very optimistic about our level of knowledge about the universe, or a purely semantic thing where you count the precursor technology of another technology that would eventually be the major breakthrough as “already being worked on”…

Exactly this. There are some things I usually ask about every interview that kind of shows my hand about what I’m looking for, but also forces them to either answer me, or eliminate themselves as candidates in my mind.

However it’s important to note that this only holds true when you’re an in demand sector, where you aren’t an easily replaceable token. Otherwise they can just skip over you as too much potential trouble lol

When I was a kid, a “normal” tip was 15%. I remember cause it’s equivalent to our sales tax lol. Somehow the expectation became 18-20% in the last couple years. I guess tipped jobs being often minimum wage doesn’t help - feeling the squeeze of the last handful of years’ inflation?

Aaaaaand now I understand why looking at gameplay footage really didn’t look all that fun to me. I generally dislike the crafting survival genre. Even No Man’a sky, with how light on the “survival” aspect it is, and as a space nerd with a deep space exploration fetish, didn’t manage to capture my attention for more than 10 hours. The endless resource gathering and crafting time just inevitably bores me to death after a couple of loops. Feels like work, and I am paying for it?

The problem I have is not so much how well they sit in my hand, but if I can reach everything on screen with one hand without having to shift the phone around or resting it somewhere. I have huge, way above average pianist hands (they make Xbox controllers look small). I can’t do it higher than ~6.5 inches, and it’s way easier under 6.2.

I don't really mind the "takes the whole screen width" - once you get wider than about 800 to 1000px it actually gets much harder to read a very long line of text than a smaller compact paragraph. Functional whitespace is a thing, although I do agree that they pushed it a bit too much. The padding and whitespace aren't the biggest problem, IMHO but how it's just very noticeably slower and clunkier to use.
